Is there anyone here running H&R springs that noticed a decrease in performance and regretted going that low? Obviously driveways and speed bumps become more of a challenge, but my main concern is adverse changes to the handling characteristics.

All feedback welcome. Thanks!
Ill sell you my techart set out of my 2016 gts cab if you want them . I was also debating h&r but went with techart , I believe the drop is not as low with the techart, better ride too. Had them installed for about 2 months . Still in box. $300.00.

Yes, if pricing isn't an issue for the OP then the KW H.A.S. seem to be like the absolute perfect fit for what he's looking to do. I'd estimate that 90% of my 991 customers opt for this setup when lowering their cars.

Anyone have any picture references with H&R Sport springs and 15/7mm spacers?

Additionally, on a NON PASM car, will the drop be similar at the end of the day?

Here you go. H&R Sports, no PASM, 7/7mm spacers.

Thanks, cant really see that much of a difference from that angle but appreciate the post. Im hoping eliminate 90% of the gap.

Basically, im looking for this height(photoshopped).

That looks pretty spot on with what I've seen in person.

I'll have to pass, but I appreciate the offer.

This one might be better without the strange lighting.

I like that drop.... about 1" or so (close to ~30mm) therefore just right, to me.

Comparison via roughly similar angles between that above^ vs. my current stock height... both on 20" wheels as you can see:

^Nice... for comparison, I saw on another thread @trips car lowered on H&R springs. Looks good also especially in that PTS color (fashion grey?) and wheels!
